What:Street Seats, a collection of reclaimed chairs found on the
streets of New york City and given a new life by repairs and a coat of
taxi-cab yellow paint, is the basis of a new urban research project
called Street Theater.

The yellow chairs, arranged in 7 rows of 7, are positioned on a plaza
in Times Square where visitors are invited to sit and view the spectacle
of Times Square. The precise spacing of the chairs as they’re arranged
each morning mimics theater seating, with Times Square as its stage. The
rearrangement of the chairs throughout the course of the day becomes a
performance about the ways in which people use public space and shape it
to suit their needs. With their taxi cab yellow paint, the chairs
re-manifest taxis back on this Broadway plaza.
